Thought for the day:

"Give me grace to amend my life, and to have an eye to mine end, without grudge of death, which to them that die in thee,
good Lord, is the gate of a wealthy life."
St. Thomas More

THREE THINGS

"Three things are necessary for the salvation of man; to know what he ought to believe; to know what he ought to desire; and to know what he ought to do."
St. Thomas Aquinas

Rights of Man?

"The people have heard quite enough about what are called the 'rights of man'. Let them hear about the rights of God for once". Pope Leo XIII Tamesti future, Encyclical

Eternity

All souls owe their eternity to Jesus Christ. Unfortunately, many have turned their back to him.

Hallelujah

I recently read a book by Charlie Daniels:  'Never Look at the Empty Seats', and, in it, he mentions a songwriter Leonard Cohen.  I have never heard of him, so I went to U-Tube and found this version of a song that I have heard numerous times, not knowing it was written by Leonard Cohen.   Enjoy.  It brought tears to me and my wife.

A Christmas Version of Leonard Cohen's Hallelujah by the Christian group 'Cloverton'.



The original song is not about Christ, but the music is the same.
In the original he is talking about his life, and sings his 'hallelujahs'.

Some Christians groups are good even though they are not Catholic.  Such as Sandi Patti singing 'Glorious Morning' or 'Via Dolorosa', or the Gaither family group singing 'Mary, did you know?'.
